Editor's review

The Asics 'Samurai Armor Pack', brings us four laser cut editions of the Gel-Lyte Evo, inspired by the Japanese Samurai of the late 12th century. A modernised version of the popular Gel-Lyte III silhouette and appearing here in a Dark Grey/Light Grey makeup, the Gel-Lyte Evo features seamless uppers which have been laser cut to emulate patterns seen in historic Japanese military armor. This conceals the unique split tongue, seen only in Asics' footwear, and a cushioned mesh lining. This sits atop a renovated Dual-Density midsole unit with tonal speckles, a contrasting splash of detailing to the heel, and a subtle black outsole.
